Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
I'm just arguing, like everybody else here. That doesn't mean I care what kind of morality you believe in, I just care about arguing about it. Oh. So you're not sincere. You're just practicing sophistry? You have a funny hobby. I'll leave the rest of the forum to judge which one of us is doing that...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Rebuttal to Natural Theology 1. A prime mover would be sufficient but not necessary for the existence of the universe. So far, so good. But now we have what's called an "argument to the best explanation": namely, when we have various possibilities before us, we examine them and see which ...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Are you? Well, then, I can point you to a great quantity of literature where you can find all the demonstrations of it you may ever need. What level of thing would you like? Academic? Popular? Literary? Video? Apologetics is one huge field...if you're really looking, as you say, you will find lots....

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
They're not rape abortions, or incest abortions, or anything of that kind. Less than 1% are those. So if you will begin by agreeing with me that 99% of abortions are immoral, I'll answer your question for you. You haven't told him why you think they are immoral, so how does he know what he is being...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
It’s sad—at least it saddens me—that the world is a might-makes-right environment. The effective attorney is one who has legal might. I agree. It's very sad. But if the world is "survival-of-the-fittest," then the one who has the most effective attorney is the "most fit" in the ...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Might-is-right will forever favor the fittest and most evolved humans. This is what the guy with the little toothbrush mustache believed. It was also an astonishingly popular view back in the US, where they were sterilizing "inferior races" and promoting aborting minority children, before...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
As an agnostic, I have an open mind on the matter of God’s existence. I am looking for a rational proof and/or empirical evidence that God in fact does exist. Are you? Well, then, I can point you to a great quantity of literature where you can find all the demonstrations of it you may ever need. Wh...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Morality doesn’t exist. What does exist is dog-eat-dog survival of the fittest, which has existed since the time of prehistoric humans. I commend you on your logic...perhaps not so much on the ensuing morality. You have a good grasp of the logic of people like Nietzsche and Spencer also, in some wa...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Well, that's an empirical question. If God exists, then as the Supreme Being and Creator of all, then obviously he's the basis of everything that's real. So the only question is the empirical one: does God actually exist. And that question will not even be touched by somebody just claiming, "W...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Let's start with something you can be quite sure you and I can agree is morally right, or something we can both agree is morally wrong. I'll totally let you pick it. The field is wide open to you. What will you pick? Charity? Slavery? Racism? Theft? Educating women? Foreign aid? Feeding the hungry?...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Harbal just say: “I give up, you’re right IC”. You’ll feel better and then there will be a base to build on. I’ll say it: I give up, IC. You’re right, IC. Except for being wrong about God being the basis of Objective Morality. Well, that's an empirical question. If God exists, then as the Supreme B...
